3 Nephi 1:19

And it came to pass that there was no darkness in all that night,

but it was as light as though it was mid-day.

And it came to pass that the sun did rise in the morning again,

according to its proper order;

and they knew that it was the day that the Lord should be born,

because of the sign which had been given.

3 Nephi 1:24

And there were no contentions,

save it were a few that began to preach,

endeavoring to prove by the scriptures

that it was no more expedient to observe the law of Moses.

Now in this thing they did err, having not understood the scriptures.

3 Nephi 2:2

Imagining up some vain thing in their hearts,

that it was wrought by men and by the power of the devil,

to lead away and deceive the hearts of the people;

and thus did Satan get possession of the hearts of the people again,

insomuch that he did blind their eyes

and lead them away to believe

that the doctrine of Christ was a foolish and a vain thing.
